I haven't made an AMV since about 2009 and I was working with Sony Vegas at that point (and WMM before that). Now I can't find my key for Vegas to put it on my new computer (hooray for moving!) so I'm attempting to use Premiere Pro on my mac, it's just been collecting dust.

I'm pretty much totally overwhelmed so I'm looking for an idiot proof beginners guide to get me started, something that will make sense for someone with the mindset to make an AMV.

I did a bit of searching on the forum and didn't run across anything in particular to help me... but again, I'm very overwhelmed right now and my brain could just be refusing to register the obvious.

Yeah, Rollinge beat me to it. I was going to suggest Creative Cow. Check out their forum, too. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on the Creative Cow forums who are quick to answer your Premiere Pro questions.
